As some of you may already be aware, we have begun construction of a new forum as a rebirth of PHO and continuing on into future projects.
This forum is called Silph Co., and can be found by clicking the banner below. We are in the process of transferring some of our old resources, and the forum is open for posting. It will be sad to see PHO go, but we look forward to a bright future with Silph.
The forums here will be moved to an archive, and the url will redirect to the new site in the coming days/weeks.

Hack ShowcaseThe spotlight of some of our favourite hacks. Consider this our Seal of Quality™.

Prebattle: These Pokémon have been my partners for a long time! Let's see how they do in battle.
After Defeat: Such a shame, I thought we were stronger.
After Battle: My Pokémon are friends, what are you Pokémon to you?

It doesn't really matter that much, but it's still in good taste to use non-legendaries where you can. The uber-types (Mewtwo, etc.) should be used sparingly for best quality. It depends on the situation. Personally, I think having legendaries on your team could be pretty good if you simply want to provide a freestyle challenge, but in this particular case it's ultimately up to LaZ to decide the verdict. BTW, I sent a request with a couple of legendaries (Latias & Lugia) so I know where you are coming from.

The Pokémon he wants is irrelevant anyway because he failed to spot a far more simple requirement. He said he wanted "R3D" as his name and that's a no go because, firstly, it directly contravenes what LaZ said not to do and because it's a "special" name, reserved for a specific character.

And on LaZ's behalf, I'll say it. No legendaries. Because if we allow legendaries, then every trainer will have them and the game will degenerate into a complete farce.

I introduce the @PkmnLCUpdates Twitter account. From now on when I update the build, the changes will be tweeted to this account. Simply follow this and you'll be notified of new builds instantly. Please note however that this is not a Pokémon Liquid Crystal Twitter account for everything, it's only for build update notifications and nothing else, so it will not respond to any messages and/or followers.

Also, the Trainer Request 2013 is now closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted a trainer.

Hey guys, it's been a while. Thought I'd post about a little update. Some of you might have noticed I removed the "hiatus" notice from the first page and the LC site. Others may have noticed I started fixing bugs a few weeks ago too. So yea, the hiatus status is off and I am back working slowly every few days on new progress. So, not huge amounts of progress like before because I'm really busy with other projects.

Both of them will be kept active (as the new page reads directly from the text file) as new builds are released, same as always, with major updates posted on Romhack.me project page (in my sig you find the link, or the first post). Right now I didn't take archived copies of builds on a regular basis so previous builds will not all be available.

Well, I hope you guys are enjoying LC, and expect some progress over the next few weeks and beyond.

That looks great. I was a little disappointed that the gym still used the Gen II graphics in the last version, it felt out of place to me. But this new design looks awesome.

Well, I thought putting them with recoloured palettes would be better then using a placeholder from FR until getting these custom tiles. There's some more gsc recolours too which will be getting replacements in the near future.
